“Before the fight we knew Anvar had heavy hands, but we trained for that really hard and you can see from the results,” Petch said in a post-fight interview.
He admitted that shaking off his Muay Thai base was difficult.
“Back in Thailand we concentrated on speed, we don’t clinch anymore. I work on my low kicks and mid-range kicks and mix it all up together.”
With the win in Orlando, Petchpanomrung extends his run to seven win.
So what’s next for the featherweight king?
“I’ll go back and keep training to become the best I can,” he said. “Whoever Glory puts in front of me next, I’m ready to go.”
